Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on September 21, 1949)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Artis Gilmore! From dominating the ABA courts with your unstoppable hook shot, to becoming an NBA All-Star and Hall of Famer, you've always stood tall—literally and figuratively. Your iconic afro alone deserves its own spot in basketball history!

Whether it was leading Jacksonville University to a Cinderella run or setting rebounding records that still make today's players dizzy, your legacy remains unmatched. Here's hoping this birthday is as epic as your slam dunks and as timelessly cool as those vintage highlights we can't stop replaying. Keep towering above us all—happy birthday, big guy!
